but it seems odd (more like fuc**n stupid) to me that apple can some how patent MULTITOUCH "TECHNOLOGY" so that it cant be put out by any other phone company without having to worry about getting sued.

Yes exactly my point. Thanks
Not only MS.ANy other handheld manufacturers like HTC, Samsung, LG. They cannot make a device with multi touch out of the box because they will be liable for patent infringement. Microsoft may have multi touch capabilities on WM7 but it's only a software. Multi touch will not work on software alone. So MS is not breaking any rules. Once HTC for example made a WM7 device and put a multi touch hardware in it and release it to the public without Apples permission, Guess what? LOL
